Simple Step to Longer Life – Fast Walking.
Fast walking may be the most accessible and effective way to improve longevity and reduce health disparities. While doctors and health organizations have long touted the benefits of regular physical activity, whether walking pace matters and how it plays out across diverse communities have remained critical questions, especially for those living in underserved neighborhoods. Now,ContinueContinue reading “Simple Step to Longer Life – Fast Walking.”
Scuba Diving Drives $20 Billion Global Economic Engine
Far beyond offering glimpses into coral kingdoms and underwater adventures, scuba diving is quietly fueling a global economic sector. A multinational study led by Anna Schuhbauer at the University of British Columbia—published July 25, 2025, in Cell Reports Sustainability—reveals, for the first time, the financial scale of dive tourism, positioning it as a key playerContinueContinue reading “Scuba Diving Drives $20 Billion Global Economic Engine”
Unprotected – Study Shows Widespread Industrial Fishing in Global Marine Reserves.
Nearly half of the supposed safe havens of marine protected areas are infiltrated by industrial fishing vessels—many operating in the shadows beyond public scrutiny. In the race to protect our oceans from the mounting pressures of overexploitation and ecological decline, countries worldwide have rapidly increased the designation of marine protected areas (MPAs)—patches of the seaContinueContinue reading “Unprotected – Study Shows Widespread Industrial Fishing in Global Marine Reserves.”
Barking Up a Random Tree: Dogs Cannot Perceive Human Reputation.
Could our loyal companions be carefully weighing our generosity, forming hidden judgments as we dole out treats? A new study suggests they may not be keeping tabs after all. Researchers from the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna invited 40 pet dogs, ranging in age from sprightly yearlings to wise seniors, into a food-giving experiment designedContinueContinue reading “Barking Up a Random Tree: Dogs Cannot Perceive Human Reputation.”
Multivitamins Aren’t What We Thought: Study Finds No Benefit for Longevity.
For decades, colorful multivitamin bottles have lined pharmacy shelves and kitchen cabinets, promising better health to millions. But how much do these supplements actually help us live longer? An analysis led by Dr. Neal D. Barnard and colleagues at the George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences, delivers a surprising answer: not onlyContinueContinue reading ” Multivitamins Aren’t What We Thought: Study Finds No Benefit for Longevity.”
Why the Oldest Companies Thrive the Longest – Efficiency & Sustainability.
In a striking new study published in June 2025, researchers have turned the lens on a pressing question: how do the world’s greenest organizations balance growth and sustainability? The international team, led by Daria M. Haner of the University of Pennsylvania, has unveiled a surprising and significant link—companies with stronger environmental sustainability records aren’t justContinueContinue reading “Why the Oldest Companies Thrive the Longest – Efficiency & Sustainability.”
First Evidence of Ship Anchoring Damage in Antarctica Raises Alarm for Seafloor Life
In the icy, remote waters of Antarctica, a new study has sounded the alarm on a hidden threat to some of the world’s most pristine marine ecosystems: ship anchor and chain damage. For the first time, scientists have captured direct evidence of anchor scars and crushed marine life on the Antarctic seafloor—a wake-up call asContinueContinue reading “First Evidence of Ship Anchoring Damage in Antarctica Raises Alarm for Seafloor Life”
Brighter Hopes in Deeper Waters: Study Reveals Depth, Not Shade, Shields Coral Nurseries During Mass Bleaching
When the ocean’s coral turn white, it’s easy to assume the worst for the world’s coral reefs. But a new study from the University of Technology Sydney brings a nuanced message: bleaching is not death, and some simple interventions might help buy time for reefs facing increasingly frequent marine heatwaves. In the summer of 2024, asContinueContinue reading “Brighter Hopes in Deeper Waters: Study Reveals Depth, Not Shade, Shields Coral Nurseries During Mass Bleaching”
Hidden Challenge of Predictive Models in the Integration of Medical AI.
The integration of AI in healthcare is not without risks. A new study demonstrates that, if unchecked, the very tools designed to save lives could undermine the data foundations critical to their success In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning have surged into healthcare, promising earlier disease detection, personalized treatments, and better patientContinueContinue reading “Hidden Challenge of Predictive Models in the Integration of Medical AI.”
